“Last night in Memphis, tonight in New Orleans. Tomorrow I’ll be miles from here, ain’t nothing to me, nothing to me. Sweet gypsy highway, won’t you let me chase my dream? ‘Cause I got a song to take me there, and it’s something to see, something to see. Lord, I was born with a suitcase in my hand, living in a life that few could understand. Sometimes it gets so confusing that I don’t know where I am, but I always know who I’m with – I’m with the band.” – Little Big Town
The band = the other Phi Mu Consultants J
Now that I am a full-time traveler and not a resident anymore, I’ve discovered that I have no time to blog. I hardly have time to call my friends and family throughout the week, so this blog just got pushed the bottom of my to-do this. My apologies.
Let’s pick up right where I left off…
After leaving Tulane back in January, I headed to Bethany College in West Virginia for recruitment then had some much needed time off! I turned 23 (wait, what?!), had a minor “I’m-almost-23-which-means-I’m-almost-25-which-means-I'm-almost-30” crisis, and headed to Hanover to see my friends to celebrate! One of my very best friends from college drove up from Lexington, KY to help celebrate, and we had the best time reliving our glory days of college. Everyone should also congratulate Cassi on being accepted into a doctoral program at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine! Soooooo proud of her!!
one of my most honest friends and gives the absolute best advice
ps. I miss our bunk bed at the house
Then it was back to work, and my first stop was Philadelphia! I went to Drexel University to help facilitate the finance portion of Regional Officer Training. It was a long first day back on the job but it was a good first day back. Phi Mu does a great job with leadership training for our collegians, so it was great to spend the day with them watching them learn together. A huge thanks goes out to the Beta Tau Chapter for being such a great host!
Executive Committees from 7 chapters!
I didn’t get to do a whole lot of sight-seeing in Philly, but I did see the Rocky steps and statue (cue the Rocky music). Other than that, the view from my hotel downtown was good enough for me. After ROT on Saturday, I headed back with the Phi Lambda Chapter at West Chester University. Aside from my meetings, I spent a lot of time just hanging out with the chapter members! I did get to go to one of their COB events at a local froyo place, and if anyone knows me, you know how much I enjoyed that!
I really need to do a better job of taking more pictures on my visits. see above for that "having no time" detail.
After my visit to West Chester, I headed up to Muhlenberg College to visit our Phi Kappa Chapter. Muhlenberg is a small school, much like Hanover. I especially love smaller schools and comparing their college experience to mine! My visit to Phi Kappa was full of so many fun activities. Not only did I have a full schedule of meetings, but I got to attend their Sisterhood Retreat and Founder’s Day Luncheon.
one of my favorite activities!
And that pretty much sums up my visits to the Philadelphia area!
